Bank in Barrow robbed

Bethlehem heist

Two men robbed a Bethlehem bank at gunpoint Thursday afternoon, according to the Barrow County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies are looking for two men who robbed the Community Bank & Trust branch at 12 Angel St. in Bethlehem just after 4 p.m. One of the suspects had a handgun, Barrow sheriff's Maj. Todd Druse said.

The two men took $11,000 and fled the bank in a black SUV, possibly a Land Rover, Druse said. Neither of the two employees - the only witnesses inside the bank at the time - was injured.

"There were no shots fired, no injuries," Druse said. "They came in, got what they wanted and got out."

Both men were wearing hats, plus nylon stockings over their faces, Druse said. One wore black jeans, a gray sweater, gray shoes and dark work gloves, the employees told deputies. The man who had the handgun wore a red, long-sleeved pullover shirt, blue jeans and white latex gloves.

"We cannot tell the race or age of the suspects at this time," said Druse, who added that investigators were reviewing surveillance footage from the bank.

Anyone with information on the robbery can call the Barrow County Sheriff's Office at 770-307-3080.
